Corporate rip-offs are the theme. Examples include Cisco and Microsoft not paying a penny of federal income tax, AT&T wanting to charge a commission for sales on its broadband network, phone companies that sneak fees into low long distance rates, Verizon charging customers rent on long obsolete equipment, the recording industry wanting to collect fees for Internet broadcasting without benefiting musicians. Ralph Nader to appear at Madison Square Garden, New York Senate candidates Rick Lazio and Hillary Clinton both fall for a fake Internet tax bill during a debate, a microbroadcasting station is shut down, a five cent a minute long distance plan is scrutinized.
